Bloomington police arrested 16 men, including an ICE employee, during a three-day child sex trafficking sting dubbed "Operation Creep," where suspects allegedly attempted to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex. Police Chief Booker Hodges said in a press conference that the arrests were made using multiple investigative methods, revealing that most suspects were from the Twin Cities area. Among them was an ICE auditor who reportedly declared, "I’m ICE, boys," before being taken into custody. Another arrested suspect was identified as a staffer from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Authorities also released drone footage showing one suspect arriving with drugs and multiple firearms, while another claimed he was carrying a gun. Hodges noted that evolving technology has made such stings increasingly challenging and stressed the need for stronger laws to curb online exploitation. The investigation remains ongoing as not all suspects have been formally charged. US: Black SUV Rams ICE Vehicle in Broad Daylight in Chicago Amid Ongoing Tensions With Federal Agents, Video Surfaces.
